My mum’s friend called yesterday, mostly to order AirPods, but we ended up chatting about Mum. They’ve been friends for nearly sixty-five years, since they were little. Listening to her, I could tell she missed her friend a lot. She kept saying, ‘Oh, I have to ring you, Mum, to tell her about this or that’ and how hard it has been not to talk to her. I felt the same way and wished I could FaceTime Mum like I had almost every day. We both felt a lost connection, as I think everyone connected with Mum is feeling and we’re trying to reconnect.
